Chapter 28 Missing Person Notices Flood the Screen
The opening of the convenience store made the whole city bustling. People bought flower pots and planted the seedlings immediately, hoping that they would bloom soon.
Driven by this enthusiasm, Lu Jiu asked the forging shop to make 5,000 flower pots in advance and sold them out on the same day. Now there are about 3,500 registered residents in the city-state, and 5,000 flower pots are not enough.
The forging shop also issued a notice that due to insufficient raw materials, sales would take a week.
There was no other way, so some residents started making their own flower pots. Even if it didn't accelerate the effect, it was better than waiting for a week.
An An is very happy today. Her father has not been out these days and has been making flower pots at home. Although she does not have the skills of a blacksmith, Zhuang Yun will give her a piece of mud to play with.
An An sat obediently opposite Zhuang Yun and suddenly said, "Dad, it would be better if you could stay at home and make flower pots for a few more days."
Zhuang Yun smiled knowingly, "From now on, Dad will take one day off every week to spend time with you." He thought that no matter how hard he worked, he had to give himself a break, and this time was just right for him to spend time with his daughter.
An An stopped kneading the mud and stared at his father, "Really?"
Zhuang Yun looked up and saw the surprise and inquiry in his daughter's eyes. "Of course, Daddy wouldn't lie to you."
After hearing this, An An snuggled up in Zhuang Yun's arms coquettishly. The father and daughter talked softly, enjoying the time together as a family.

The flower pots in the forging shop were sold for 50 copper coins each. After selling all 5,000 flower pots, he earned 250,000 copper coins, but compared to the original investment, it was still a loss.
So she could understand why the things sold in the shops in Phantom City were so expensive, but Lu Jiu said that she had a lot of gold coins and could afford the loss, not to mention that there was also a big gold coin owner, Shen Jufeng.
Just like Shen Jufeng said, we should consider long-term goals and not just care about immediate gains and losses.
At present, there is no mention in the conversation channel about Xuantian City opening the convenience store to all residents in the city. She is waiting for the surprise of the players in the same city after the first batch of morning glories mature.
*
"Brother Wen, we really came to the right place. No one has ever mentioned the store in Phantom City, but Xuantian City has opened it."
Brother Wen looked at A Liu. Her spirit and energy were completely different from when she was in Phantom City. It was as if she was alive now.
He stroked the mission manual he bought. It was just a small book that he could use at his own discretion.
"I saw that the system said it was open to all city residents. I guess the city lord can choose to open the permissions. It's not that there is no store in Phantom City, but only the city lord can consume."
After listening to Brother Wen's analysis, A Liu pursed his lips. That's right, it's impossible that only Xuantian City has special treatment. It only means that other city-states may choose not to fully open up for various reasons.
"Our city lord might really be a special person..." A Liu murmured.
Among the several city-states in the same city that they knew about, only the lord of Xuantian City had concealed his identity.
"The most important thing is that our city lord is rich in resources. I guess there are also differences between advanced players, just like us ordinary players. Professional players and life-related players have different resources available to them."
I always watch what people say in the conversation channel and can spot some problems, like there are a few people who seem to be very famous in the game they were talking about before, but there are very few such people.
"That's right. In the past, games were divided into civilian players and pay-to-win players. Who knows, our city lord might be a pay-to-win player."
Brother Wen nodded, "Yes, that's roughly what it means."
Ah Liu only felt that his future life was indeed promising, but then he thought of something and hesitantly said, "Then... Brother Wen, should we tell them about this situation..."
The ones she was referring to were her former teammates. Although their relationship wasn't particularly close, at least they had worked together for a while.
Brother Wen thought for a moment and said, "Tell them. When the morning glories are ripe, people in the city will definitely know that Xuantian City has opened a convenience store."
It would be a bit of hindsight to tell my former teammates then, so it would be better to say it now.
When Brother Wen’s former teammates in Phantom City saw the email, they were both happy and angry.
They were happy that they could buy morning glory seedlings, but they were angry that the lord of Phantom City was too stingy. Not only did he compete with them for resources, he even closed the convenience store.
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. Finally, they decided to move their entire family to Xuantian City to settle down. They would not stay in this ruined city anymore.
Some of them even regretted it and thought they should have just gone with Brother Wen.
"Brother Wen said that the next batch of flower pots will not be sold until a week later. Oh, I should have gone there at the beginning." Someone said in frustration.
"If you ask me, the city lord here is too overbearing. He keeps all the good things for himself."
No matter how much we condemn them now, they are bound to leave.
Before leaving, they sent this news to other team members they knew, wishing to divert all the residents to Xuantian City.
The other teams were skeptical when they received the news and planned to wait and see for two more days. If there really were morning glory seedlings for sale, then ordinary players would definitely speak out in the local dialogue channel in a few days.
*
On this day, the players who had the first chance chatted in the corresponding dialogue channels as usual, but the most crowded channel was still the same city channel. In previous games, loud speakers had to be purchased with real money or obtained through lottery.
[Liu Yu]: A missing person notice. Liu Lian, are you and your parents in the same city? If you see this message, please email me immediately. I am in Xuantian City!
[Yang Han]: A missing person notice. If anyone knows Yang Han, a graduate of Yangshan City’s No. 1 High School, please come to Xuantian City to find me!
Such missing person notices came one after another, and the other players who had taken the lead were confused. They just used loudspeakers to look for their relatives in the early days of the doomsday.
These are obviously ordinary players. Are small trumpets starting to drop from monsters now?
And why are they all Xuantian City!
Tan Hong: What the hell? Monsters in Yangshan City are starting to drop trumpets? So many missing person notices.
She could tell at a glance that he was an ordinary player.
[Zuo Lan]: From Xuantian City, is that the trumpet you got from killing monsters?
[Liu Yu]: No, our city lord opened the city store and we bought morning glory seedlings to grow them.
A single stone stirs up a thousand ripples. Who is the Lord of Xuantian City and why did he open up the convenience store like that?
[Lu Zheng]: Who is the Lord of Xuantian City? Why would he open a small shop like that?
Yang Han: Who cares who it is? Why can't we open it? You're the one who opened our Xuantian City store? Who gave you the face?
[Liu Yu]: That’s right, some of you players who have taken the lead keep all the good things for yourselves. Who wouldn’t want to find their relatives?
For a while, the local conversation channel in Yangshan City was in an uproar, and someone immediately sent this news to the same provincial channel.
[Fan Dai] (Same Province Channel): The mayor of Xuantian City in Yangshan City in our province actually opened the convenience store permissions. All the people over there bought seedlings and chatted non-stop on the same city channel, and the screen was full of missing person notices.
[Tao Qing] (Channel from the same province): Oh, is that so? But if you keep talking about it, all the players in the province will know about the convenience store.
Fan Dai:
Although ordinary players do not have the tools to speak, it does not mean that they cannot see these channels.
The dialogue channels are divided into the same city, same province, national and global. Up to now, the national and global channels are in black and white and cannot be viewed or spoken.
